Driveways driven away by new rule

Hi neighbours,

A move to free up more land for new builds is likely to see fewer driveways and garages in modern housing, in a move some say could have New Zealand looking like Coronation Street.

Councils across the country must scrap planning rules that require car parks to be put down near new housing or business developments, under newly released housing guidelines.

The change comes as the Government looks to encourage development, in part by freeing up land held up by car parks, under its new National Policy Statement for urban development.

Property developer Phil Robinson said scrapping car park rules was a “big change”, but he was unsure if it was a “big win”.

What do you think of having more new builds in your area with fewer driveways and garages?

Your thoughts on making Matariki a public holiday

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.

Hi neighbours,

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.

The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.

The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.

We want to hear your thoughts about Matariki becoming a public holiday. Do you support the idea, or are you against it? Perhaps you have a counter proposal.

Water

Lynn from Glen Avon - Waiwhakaiho

I think it is high time we stopped wanting walk ways, bike tracks, rugby stadium, (who wants to watch a 2nd division team anyway) etc etc. it’s great to have all these thing’s BUT at the expense of water, sewerage, good roads, footpaths, etc the core of good councils, I know it’s feels better… View moreI think it is high time we stopped wanting walk ways, bike tracks, rugby stadium, (who wants to watch a 2nd division team anyway) etc etc. it’s great to have all these thing’s BUT at the expense of water, sewerage, good roads, footpaths, etc the core of good councils, I know it’s feels better to say I was a councillor when we built the stadium then to say I was a councillor and we fixed the water. Or do we put rates up by a $1000 or so and have it all? I feel bad about passing it to the next generation when we haven’t maintained it and haven’t paid enough rates to cover costs.
